Ingo and Melli ♦ Character Design Analysis - Pokémon Legends Arceus Wardens

Had a sore throat when I recorded this one. I also didn't mention it because it's more for their old designs but Ingo and Emmet have that theatre mask thing going on.

From what I’ve read online, Ingo’s Japanese name is a pun on trains-but it’s also a pun for mountain climbing. Gamefreak saw they needed a warden to helped us climb, saw Ingo, and decided to cause emotional damage …for a PUN.

I’m surprised how popular the subway boss twins became after this game. I’ve seen stories of emmet going completely mental after loosing ingo it both sad and intriguing. I hope the two reunite because no closure would hurt. Both of them have definitely become some of my favorite unova characters.

I swear the more one looks into ingos situation, the sadder it becomes, like how long has he been there? How long has Emmet been alone? Will they ever even reunite? Does gamefreak know how tragic the implications are here? And all this because of a japanese mountain climbing pun

One interesting thing to note is that ingo is missing all the white parts of his outfit. Like his white shirt and gloves are gone and that's probably to symbolize the loss of his brother who wears predominately white

according to bulbapedia ingo is the older sibling between the two, when there's a lack of parent presence younger children will mostly likely start to cling to their older siblings for comfort and needs, now imagine emmet's situation in all of this yeah im going to cry for 2D characters again

It's ironic how the two Wardens of Coronet Highlands have Noble Pokemon that would match the other much better in sense of aesthetic (Lord Electrode with it's perpetual frown and smooth upper half of his globe, and Lady Sneasler with her fabulous looks and attitude (no other Noble laughs at you the way she does)) yet it still works very well the way they are now

4:18 that is the best and saddest piece of art ever! Imagine seeing your brother’s clothes on display in a museum and learning he died over 100 years ago in a far away region. Though happy knowing he lived a full life with new Pokémon and friends by his side.

Melli is actually hilarious and I really don't blame him for not being nice to the people who are kinda highkey invading his homeland, I really like the guy like... he just lies about not knowing Electrodes favourite food cos he doesn't like you, that's hilarious.

Someone on twitter mentioned this but Ingo is missing both white parts of his og uniform and Emmet has the white uniform counterpart.

Interesting analysis! There is one point you missed about Melli: He used to be very shy and withdrawn as a child (complete opposite of now). Mai also explains, that Melli changed his personality to help Adaman. (So yes Melli might be very rude, but he cares a lot for the Diamond clan) Edit: Sorry I read too late, that your video was only about the character design! So don't mind the thing I added

Looking up Ingo stuff is like constantly stabbing oneself in the heart, but being unable to stop no matter how much it hurts...DX

I HATE that the games did Melli so dirty lol He was supposed to be arrogant but also showcase his big cheerleader energy for diamond clan as he cares very deeply for those in diamond clan and can be very sweet to them, not to mention seeing adaman as a big bro, but the game kinda skipped the second part and said "nah let's just focus on the arrogance"

im almost positive we'll see ingo and emmet reunite, considering theyre twins who come from black and white thats whole is that life isnt black and white and that both halves compliment one another, you cant have just one or the other. if they aren't reunited itd be like spitting in the face of the games fr. maybe we'll see emmet in scarlet/violet? or at least maybe we'll get a pokemon masters ex storyline about it, since they've been getting a lot of attention in that game (and were also released 3 months before arceus dropped i think... they both have lines about how they look up to the other and love eachother... they knew what they were doing lol)

I hate Melli so much but at the same time I love his character cause he’s so fun to make fun of I nearly died when ingo showed up from nostalgia but then his character was so sad I just wanna give him a hug

In truth I always felt that maybe Ingo and Emmet originally were meant to be bigger players in the black and white and black 2/white 2. Maybe even be the main characters of the third game (yes there was supposed to be a third one a “gray” but it was canceled) A lot of their design and names even hint that they are meant to be more. Example Yes their names in Japan have to do with trains…. But!!! Their choice on the English names is very surprising. Emmet means truth…. While Ingo means void… that and their designs among others does hint some kind of connection between them and the unova princes.

I've heard people say that Meli is the ancestor of Avery from the Sword and Shield dlc which makes the most sense to me at least

I wanna see in black and white remakes champion emmet who became a champion only to have more money and influence over Police to find his Brother this would be epic.

i feel bad for Emmet and Ingo both separated for probs years and more than likely for the rest of their lives but i will admit there is probs 1 or 2 ppl out there who like Melli and get bullied for it imo Melli is one of the worst characters Pokemon created and id say its best to get Melli's CDA out of the way but if it was me i wouldve just not done him but ig thats y ur the owner of the series and channel and not me lol anyway despite Melli being in it, it was an amazing video u pointed out stuff like how Ingo has aged since he fell to Hisui i just assumed he fell about the same time as Akari/Rei and i assumed the Goatee was in his original design and i also assumed Ingo had his suit ripped from the rift not from Pokemon also soz for the long paragraph lol

Player: "Arceus, I have done as you requested, now send back Ingo to be with his brother, memories and all!" Arceus: "And what about you?" Player: "We can talk about me later, Ingo first!"
